Broiled Ugli Fruit

So I finally bit into the ugli fruit.  It definitely doesn’t have an ugly taste.

The taste is quite…tangy.  Sour even.  More like a sour orange than a bitter grapefruit, and not as sweet as a tangerine.

 

I had mentioned in an earlier post that I wanted to try broiling the ugli fruit, much like one would broil a grapefruit for breakfast.  I cut it in half.  I sprinkled coconut sugar and freshly grated ginger on one half and placed it under the broiler for 5 mins.  I ate the other half in the meanwhile.  Contrary to what I had posted earlier, I wouldn’t juice the ugli fruit.  If I did, I would at least juice an orange with it to add some sweetness.

I like the finished product!  Broiling the ugli fruit brought out more of its grapefruity-ness, which I didn’t mind, but is a problem if you don’t like grapefruit.

 

1 ugli fruit (or grapefruit)

1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

 

1. Set the broiler on hi (or low – it’s up to you)
2. Sprinkle the grated ginger and coconut sugar onto the cut side of the fruit
3. Place the fruit on baking sheet
4. Let broil for 5 minutes
5. Let cool of 1 minute
6. Scoop out the pegs and enjoy!
